Clip of Cohesion #82 – We present an important collaboration agreement between Legacoop and Mondragon, cooperative representatives of Italy and the Basque Country respectively, which will lead to the development of joint projects
The European Commission chose the theme of skills for the awareness-raising campaign of the European Year 2023, confirming it for 2024 as well, indicating the will to address this issue in future policies. In line with the European Year of Competencies, the Emilia-Romagna Region has approved Regional Law 2/2023 for the attraction, retention and valorisation of highly specialised talents, aimed at improving the attractiveness, innovation and competitiveness of the regional system. We interviewed Lara Porciatti from ART-ER to explore the regional initiatives, especially those related to digital transition. The aim of the article is to analyse the European skills framework and the main initiatives undertaken at EU and regional level for training and talent attraction.

The Divertor Tokamak Test (DTT) is a major Italian initiative in the field of nuclear fusion.
This project involves the National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development (ENEA), ENI and the CREATE consortium. The funding allocated to the project concerns the construction of the DTT plant, which will be located in the Frascati Science Citadel.
The research group has been working on the development of fusion energy for many years. During these years, one of the goals has been to build a plant capable of extracting fusion power and generating electricity. Among other challenges is to create an energy source that does not produce greenhouse gases, thus contributing to the decarbonisation of our society.
Italy, Europe, and researchers around the world have set new challenges with regard to fusion energy, which can have a decisive impact on society and the environment. It is expected that experiments can begin by the end of this decade and that fusion energy can make a contribution to the energy transition.

The Secchia river is a significant watercourse that has always been important for agriculture in Emilia-Romagna. However, its natural course has been modified over the years, with significant consequences for the surrounding territory.
The Secchia is an important ecological corridor connecting the Apennines and the Po river system. In recent decades, its river area has undergone major redevelopment projects that have made it possible to preserve its natural peculiarities, while guaranteeing safe access for citizens.
In order to ensure the safety and stability of the area surrounding the Secchia River, several measures must be implemented. These measures have been ongoing for many years and some remarkable results have already been achieved. Among the major interventions is the ‘Interventions in the Secchia River Basin’ project for territorial safety.

Over the decades, our society has taken a huge jump forward in terms of technological breakthroughs. These have indeed made our lives easier, but at a very high cost. In many metropolises, the pollution rate reaches alarming levels, despite the various renewable and e-green energy sources.
And it is precisely from this premise that the project for the new episode of the ‘EU with YOU’ podcast started. The project aims to revolutionise the world of renewable energy through a biological methanator, i.e. a reactor that is able to store renewable energy. The methanator uses carbon dioxide and hydrogen to produce energy. How?
Inside the reactor, CO2 and hydrogen are converted into gas (methane) through a process using electricity. In fact, methane, unlike renewable energy sources, can be stored inside batteries and used in the future. This is the main difference with the rest of the e-green projects: Co2 batteries, on the other hand, can utilise both industrial and natural carbon dioxide, thus allowing for greater availability.
The construction of the ‘biological methanator’ saw the coming together of several companies that collaborated to realise the project. The startup Energy Dome, born in 2020 in Milan, specialised in renewable energy and creator of the project. Res Italia (Reliable Environmental Solutions), a Ravenna-based company specialising in the creation of specific systems for renewable energy production. RES Italia worked side by side with Agenzia Sardegna Ricerche, based in Cagliari, where the methanator is located.
